Platinum Coins from the United States Mint

Platinum has been called the "most precious of the precious metals." Its rarity far exceeds that of gold and silver, and has important industrial applications, including automobile catalytic converters and industrial pollution control. Beginning in 1997 the United States Mint began striking Platinum Eagles in four denominations, with weights corresponding their counterpart Gold Eagle coins. This ended in 2008, when financial crises were reaching their peak. The U.S. Mint responded to record demand by fulfilling only orders for the most popular one-ounce gold and silver issues. U.S. Mint platinum is back as of 2014, available as either a proof or bullion issue.

2017 American Eagle Platinum Proof

The 2017 issue of the $100 Proof Platinum Eagle revives the design of the very first, released in 1997. This is sure to make it dear to collectors and investors everywhere. The Mint’s strict limit of 10,000 coins will ensure this year’s issue will be more scarce than the original 1997 issue, with fewer than half the number of coins released.

Platinum Eagles dated 1997-2008 are struck in fractional (lower value) sizes and may be available as individual coins or as part of grade-certified sets. Call a Montgomery Chandler representative to begin or add to a collection of modern American Eagle Platinum coins.
